24-unit townhome community begins vertical construction in Grand Central District
/
A new townhome community is set to rise on the edge of St. Petersburg’s Grand Central District and Historic Kenwood, bringing a neighborhood feel to one of the city’s most vibrant urban corridors.
Indianapolis-based developer Onyx+East has officially launched sales for Blanc, a 24-unit luxury townhome project at 3001 1st Avenue North. The phased development will span seven buildings across a one-acre site.
The property, formerly home to a gas station, a single-family home, and an apartment building, was cleared prior to Onyx+East purchasing the site for $4 million in 2024. The parcel was previously owned by Salt Palm Development who planned to build The Bismarck, an 18-unit townhome community.

A former parking lot near Historic Kenwood is now home to Burlington Post II, a 75-unit affordable apartment community for seniors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last Wednesday to celebrate the opening.
Every apartment at the five-story building at 3295 Burlington Avenue North is income restricted, and the property must remain affordable for at least 50 years.
For some of its first residents, the move followed rising rents that made their previous homes increasingly difficult to afford.
Tabari Lewis, community manager with Royal American Management, said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising that many residents learned about Burlington Post II through friends, family, and city housing services while searching for a more affordable place to live.
